WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why intercom_reply_to_conversation needs a policy

The tool name strongly implies it sends a reply to an existing Intercom conversation, which is a write operation (creating a new message). This could have significant customer-facing impact if misused — sending unintended replies to customers at scale. Confidence is reduced because the description is empty and no parameters are documented.
